Welcome to a world of comfort, caring, and love! Alvernia Manor, operated by the School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King, is much more than senior housing. We’re a small, close-knit community, where our staff gets to know residents and their families, and where we treat every person with love and respect. We understand your needs, your preferences, and any special difficulties you and your family may face—and we’re here to help.
Alvernia Manor sits atop a hill on 80 peaceful acres in Lemont, just southwest of Chicago. Savor the beauty of the changing seasons as you stroll the grounds or from the comfort of our newly renovated common rooms. Relish three home-cooked meals a day in our spacious dining room. Entertain friends and family here, or enjoy the privacy of your own room. And delight in the company of Buddy, our loyal family dog.
Our Mission at Alvernia Manor in union with the School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King and its caregivers, is to provide a home for seniors where they can live up to their greatest potential in joy and hope in an atmosphere of Christian love and concern. We believe that as a Christian community, we respect the dignity and needs of one another as together we strive for excellence in the care of our residents.
Whether you choose Independent or Sheltered Care Living, a Short Term Stay or Adult Day Services, Alvernia Manor can offer you a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. Our dedicated and caring staff includes nurses and nurse assistants, dietary team, activities specialists, house keepers and maintenance workers. The Sisters, too, are a central part of life at the Manor; they live among the residents and are available around the clock.
